Westburn Viaduct

Westburn Viaduct, also known as Carmyle Viaduct, is a disused railway bridge over the River Clyde between Carmyle in Glasgow (north side) and Westburn (Cambuslang) in South Lanarkshire (south side).

It is constructed of a steel lattice frame with sandstone pillars and has three main spans over the water.

The passenger train services using the bridge ended in 1964, although freight services, mostly serving Clydebridge Steelworks and Clyde Iron Works, continued until 1983 when those facilities ceased operating.

[2] The bridge was officially closed and fenced-off, although for some years it was still accessible to pedestrians determined enough to overcome the barriers.

[5][6] In early 2021, Sustrans Scotland announced a project to refurbish the bridge as a walking and cycling route across the river, inviting consultation from locals[7][8] (with some residents on both sides objecting to the plans due to the recent history of violence associated with the route being accessible to rival youths).
